Assembling Octocam

This tutorial will guide you through how to assemble your OctoCam kit. Octocam is the cutest way to set

up a tiny motion-activated security camera, a baby monitor, or timelapse rig.

The on-board wireless LAN and Bluetooth on the Pi Zero W mean that it's possible to monitor your

OctoCam remotely, or have it send images or animated GIFs to Twitter periodically.

The guide will show you how to attach the camera to your Pi Zero W, assemble the OctoCam camera

mount, and how to attach the optional desk stand.

It should less than 30 minutes to assemble everything.

Preparing the OctoCam mount

You should have the following pieces:

red, etched acrylic OctoCam mount

clear acrylic desk stand

4x clear suckers

4x M2.5 white nylon bolts

8x M2.5 white nylon nuts

4x M2.5 white nylon spacers

small rubber foot

Let's start by taking the red OctoCam mount, the four bolts and four of the nuts. Push each of the four bolts

through the circular holes at the top and bottom of the mount, from the front.

Now, flip the whole thing over and place face down on your desk/table so that the ends of the bolts are

sticking upwards and use the four nuts to secure the bolts at the back.

Take the four spacers and slip them onto each of the four bolts. They will space the camera just the right

distance away from the Pi Zero W, and the rubber foot (that we'll add later) will prevent too much heat

from radiating from the Pi Zero W's CPU to the camera.

Connecting the camera and mounting it

Take your camera and Pi Zero W and place both face up (with the USB connectors on the Pi Zero W

facing upwards, and the camera lens also facing upwards) on your desk.

Gently pull the camera connector clip out on either side. It's fairly easy to pull the clip right off, irreparably

damaging it in the process, so be really careful.

Push the cable of the camera into the connector, just underneath the black clip, and then gently push the

clip all the way back in, pushing on either side.

Now flip the Pi Zero W with connected camera over. Peel the paper off the sticky tape on the back of the

camera module (just the one on the camera module itself). Take the small rubber foot and stick the non-

sticky side of it to the sticky tape on the camera module, so that the sticky side of the rubber foot is

exposed. This means that when you mount the camera, the sticky side of the rubber foot will stick to the

back of the Pi Zero W, holding it in place.

Peel the small piece of plastic film off the camera lens, and then place the camera lens into the large hole

on the OctoCam mount, as in the image below.

Now, fold the Pi Zero W over carefully, making sure that the camera lens stays located in the hole in the

OctoCam mount. Slip the Pi Zero W down onto the bolts and use the remaining four nuts to secure it.

Flip the whole thing right-side-up now, and push the four rubber suckers through the holes in the OctoCam

mount. If you're using your OctoCam mounted to a window, then you're done (skip to the bottom for links

to the software guides)! If you'd like to use the desk stand, then read on!

Mounting and using the desk stand

The clear piece of acrylic that you'll be left with is the desk stand. It allows you to sit your OctoCam on

your desk, or on a shelf, if you wish. The two slots on it hold the stand to your OctoCam using the bottom

pair of bolts and nuts.

Loosen up the bottom pair of nuts, and then slot the desk stand onto the bolts/nuts as shown below.

Tighten up the nuts until they grip the stand firmly in place. You can now sit your OctoCam on your

table/shelf; your own personal cephalopod security guard!
